Critics Ratings

'A nice d'Yquem, but short of thrilling, the wine is on the orange, tropical side of the style range with caramel, molasses, and brown sugar nuances that ride along with the candied orange rind, molasses, tangerine, topped with an array of spices and butterscotch. Drink from 2022-2037.' - thewinecellarinsider.com, 93/100 (Oct 2022)

'Amber, if not mahogany in color, the wine is lean, with a focus on its caramel, creme brulee, butterscotch, burnt orange and light chocolate characteristics. Not much sweetness remains and just a bit of fruit still lingers, but the nose was fun and knowing you were drinking a bottle of d'Yquem that was close to 130 years old was a thrill. It was not the best old wine I have ever tasted, but it is one that I will always remember.' - thewinecellarinsider.com (Feb 2020)
